[Verse]
D
When the oil stops, everything stops
C                   D
nothing left in the fountain
D
Nobody wants paper money son
       C                 D
so you just as well stop countin'
        D
Can you break the horse
        D
Can you light the fire
C                      D
What's that I beg your pardon
    D
You best start thinking where food comes from
      C                    D
And I hope you tend a good garden

[Chorus]
D
Gettin' down on the mountain
D
Gettin' down on the mountain
D
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down
        C                   D
I'll be gettin' on down the mountain

[Verse]
D
When the truck don't run the bread don't come
       C                 D
Have a hard time finding petrol
D
Water aint runnin in the city no more
       C                 D
Do you hold any precious metal
        D
Can you gut the fish, can you read the sky
       C               D
What's that about over crowdin'
    D
You ever seen a man who's kids aint ate
    C           D
For 17 days and countin'

[Chorus]
D
Gettin' down on the mountain
D
Gettin' down on the mountain
D
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down
        C                   D
I'll be gettin' on down the mountain

[Verse]
D
There aint no heat and the powers gone out
     C                  D
It's kerosene lamps and candles
    D   
The roads are blocked its all grid locked
    C                D
You got a short wave handle
        D
Can you track the deer, can you dig the well
         C               D
Couldn't quite hear your answer
  D
I think I see a rip in the social fabric
C                          D
Brother can you spare some ammo

[Chorus]
D
Gettin' down on the mountain
D
Gettin' down on the mountain
D
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down
        C                   D
I'll be gettin' on down the mountain
